School of Commerce and Management Christ University Hosur Road Bangalore Answered Questions

Hostel seats inside the campus are limited in number. As there would be other course students too joining the hostel, seats get filled very soon. You can deposit fee and avail hostel facility whenever you would like to. But its better you do it before March, where the second session of admitted students would also be booking their hostel and there will be none left once their admissions too get over. As you delay, there might not be seats available for the type of sharing you would like to choose (double, triple sharing).

Nearly 70% of the students attending the placement process get placed within the course completion period. Course gets completed by March, but placements continue up to August. Placement percent is more than 95% for all those attending the placement process. This year finance specialization is doing really good compared to other specializations. Finance is almost 75% placement by now. Big companies like Deloitte, KPMG, Ernst Young, TCS, etc. have come to the campus.

The whole vision of Christ is aimed at holistic education. It gives you opportunities to develop your knowledge not just academically, but also in different and new streams. The knowledge transfer here is more on the practical level, where they prepare you for a full-fledged corporate life. Yes of course, when it comes to practicality, subject knowledge is important but your interpersonal skills binding with your knowledge and knowing how to use them is the secret to your success. Now, to develop these interpersonal skills Christ arranges different platforms like cultural events, sports, art events, theater, management fest, corporate interfaces, club activities etc. where you can develop skills like, event management, team work, leadership, it helps you bring out your hidden talents, patience, confidence, it will also make you a dynamic person. Yes, Christ lets you achieve all this is by making these events compulsory for everyone to participate, which in a way is good because sometimes all we need is a small push to the next step in life. Trust me, by being in this system, you will learn new things about yourself, but of course you should have the interest to learn more and have an open mind.
Coming to the academics, it's mostly based on practical knowledge. It is a mix of all like book based, assignment based, self-study based, research work, industry interactions etc. The syllabus is set according to the new trends in the industry and keeps on updating. The teachers are also well aware, trained and very knowledgeable about the new markets and also encourages you to equip yourself with the required skills. With respect to the placement, more than 100 companies come for placements across specializations and every year about 95-98% students get placed. The eligibility criteria for each company is different. The average package is 6.5L and the highest goes to about 12L to 14L.

I am sorry, according to the above mentioned MAT criteria, you wont be eligible to apply.

50% or above marks are considered as eligibility criteria for admission process and later your admission shall purely be based on the performance during the admission process. And once you join Christ, your practical knowledge would be tested more during examinations rather than bookish knowledge.

There is no much difference between city and Kengeri campus. Everything is centralized in terns of placements, courses and other related programs. In charge faculty are different for respective campuses but faculty too keeps shuffling while taking classes. Placements are undergone in city campus, combined for both campuses. There is no differentiation for both campuses except that of the location. And once selected, you would be randomly allocated to either of the campuses, but the administration does not give you a chance to select your choice. Kengeri campus is about 27km from the city campus.
